The card measures approx 4". I used the largest die from Spellbinders Standard Circles LG to cut the base. There are no patterned papers in this project AND no stitching. Tell me about it - I'm just as horrified as you are!

This card opens out in 3 parts. I have the cream in cream CS, embossed with the D'Vine Swirls folder. The pudding base is brown CS embossed with the Swiss Dots folder. And instead of the traditional holly decoration, I stuck a pink poinsettia on top. For this I used Marianne Creatables Poinsettia die. To finish, I inked the edges with TH's Vintage Photo and adhered a pink twine bow and pearl in the middle of the flower.

On the inside, I mixed and matched words from WMS Say It Loud Winter Holiday and stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa.

Truth be told I had fun making this card. I think I'll make some more for my stash, perhaps a few with more the traditional holly and red poinsettia garnishing.

Thanks for stopping by and have a nice warm evening. Since my butler hasn't arrived (yet), I'm going to get Conan to light the fire so I can plonk (yes...pun intended!) myself in front of it with my jug of good cheer!

Beijinhos!

p.s. You have got to swing by MIM #116 and gawk at some fab creations by other fellow crafters! 19Nov2012

About Me

I live near the sea in Portugal, with my sweet hubby. We have 3 loving furbabies - Peanut, a Doxie-Podengo rescue, Charlie, a yellow Lab rescue and Richard Parker, an all-black boy-cat. Over the years we've lost members of our furry family: André (14), Rosie (13), Snoopy (9), Turtle Joe (27) and Xiara (13). God speaks when tails wag and hearts purr... and how richly He has blessed us!
